At Mozilla, we work hard to make Firefox the best browser for you. That’s why we're always focused on building a browser that empowers you to choose your own path, that gives you the freedom to explore without worry or compromises. We’re excited to share more about the updates and improvements we ha...
Is there a community where we can post whatever the popular opinion happens to be at the time? A sister community for !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world seems to be increasingly necessary.
MS Word has this feature and it’s absolutely terrible. 508-compliant alt-text, which were required to include in documents we publish at work, require a couple of sentences of explanation. Word uses like 3 words to describe an image.
A well-implemented language model could be a huge QOL improvement. The fact that 90% of AI implementations are half-assed ChatGPT frontends does not reflect the utility of the models themselves; it only reflects the lack of vision and haste to ship of most companies.
Arc Browser has some interesting AI features, but since they’re shipping everything to OpenAI for processing, it’s a non-starter for me. It also means the developers’ interests are not aligned with my own, since they are paying by the token for API access. Mozilla is going to run local LLMs, so everything will remain private, and limited only by my own hardware and my own configuration choices. I’m down with that.
I’d love to see Firefox auto-fetch results from web searches and summarize them for me, bypassing clickbait, filler, etc. You’ve probably seen AI summary bots here on Lemmy, and I find them very helpful at cutting the crap and giving me exactly what I want, which is information in text form. That’s something that’s harder and harder to get from web sites nowadays. Never see a recipe writer’s life story again!
Not AI! Please!
I swear, tomorrow I am finding AI in the goddamn toilet paper!

But but, AI bad!

I hate to break it to you, but right now, AI is being pushed by Tesla, Microsoft, Apple, Google. Pretty much every major megacorporation.
The environmental impacts are staggeringly horrible.
But sure, AI good.
That’s pretty damn awesome

It’s just another feature that needs to be turned off on first start.
Why?
I prefer my browser just displaying websites and not doing random AI stuff or telemetry.
Visually impaired people prefer being able to use the browser and actually be able to understand the content of websites.
These features are local, private and improve accessibility, so I really don’t see any similarities with telemetry which can be turned off anyway.
It’s good for them, I guess.
Yes, telemetry can be turned of with
user.jssettings. I hope this can also be turned off that way.A well-implemented language model could be a huge QOL improvement.

Don’t be ridiculous…. Now an AI powered bidet that really gets the shit off your butthole…
